Chocolate Works: Introducing “Chocolates and Pairings”
“Chocolates and Pairings” is the brand name representing my handmade couverture chocolate I am selling in the form of giftbox. The concept is to combine couverture chocolates with unconventional fillings. Different brands of couverture chocolates are paired with widely sourced fillings. Each production batch is widely different to keep work interesting. “Take a Chance, Indulge Your Senses” is the tagline.
Flavours for First Handmade Couverture Chocolate Giftbox
The first official handmade couverture Chocolate Giftbox is the Fruits and Nuts series that is conventional in flavours and easily accepted by many. There are four brands of couverture chocolates; Valrhona, Callebaut, Patissier and Belcolade; with freeze-dried fruits (raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, peach, and passionfruit) and nuts (pecan, macadamia, walnut, hazelnut, and pistachio). The odd one is a spice, the pink peppercorn.
There is an Instagram Page solely for these at Chocolates and Pairings.
Every festive season has new pairings and different pcakagings.
Check out the creations for Mid-Autumn Festival 2021.
How I Source for Packaging
As the volume of sales is small, I shop for ready-made chocolate boxes on platforms like Shopee. I have a preference for transparent covers. All the better to showcase the product.
An original chocolate box comes with inserts. There are chocolate inserts by itself where you can buy a large piece and cut to fit.
Chocolate Transportation and Distribution
Chiller trucks are provided by Success Frozen Trading and Transport Sdn Bhd to transport chocolates within Malaysia. Check them out if you need.
